  1. Infuse the black currant, mint, and horehound in the sherry or brandy until sufficiently herbed, then strain clear with pressure.
  2. Add the thin peel and juice of a lemon and the juice of two oranges.
  3. Put the mixture into a jug with the lump of ice, add the soda-water and sparkling Moselle, stir, cover, and serve.

Ice: 2-pound lump of ice

This is one of Terrington's richer aromatic Moselle forms, using a wider herb palette than many of the plainer cups.

The herb extraction is deliberately separated from the sparkling final assembly to keep the finished cup bright.
